Check cell viability without killing cells. The OZBlue Cell Viability kit is a ready-to-use assay system based on fluorimetric/colorimetric quantification of metabolic activity in living cells. The Resazurin dye is used as an indicator of cell viability.
Main Features:
- Non-toxic: Allows additional analysis on proliferating cells (mRNA, cytogenetic, apoptosis, immunophenotyping …) and continuous monitoring of cultures over the time
- High Sensitivity: More sensitive than [3H]Thymidine incorporation and Tetrazolium reduction Assay (MTT, XTT)
- Simple: a single ready-to-use reagent. No need of washing or extraction procedures
- Versatile: can be used on cell lines, primary cells, bacteria, fungi
- Flexible: Colorimetric and fluorescence detection allows compatibility with flow cytometry, plate readers and microscopy detection
- Rapid & Cost effective
